Startup company Pocket Spacecraft recently created a Kickstarter campaign to offer the public a chance to send small disc satellites into space. The U.K.-based company plans to create thousands of tiny customized “scout” satellites to be launched in a cubesat as a way of promoting mass space exploration at a low cost.

The Kickstarter campaign is for the public to not only fund launching satellites, but to customize satellites. Three quarters of the satellite surface can be customized with either single or multiple images, as well as by adding a single pixel optical sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope, temperature sensor, and strain gauges.

The satellites will be launched in stacks of thousands inside the Interplanetary CubeSat Mothership. Based on a standard 3U cubesat, the spacecraft is designed to attach to commercial satellite launches. Once in orbit, the spacecraft gets to its destination using either a solar sail or an electrolysis propulsion system. Once the Mothership releases and photographs the satellites, it acts as a relay for satellite telemetry.
